Trainer Bob Baffert has already won six editions of the CashCall Futurity, including three of the last four. But on Saturday, the Hall of Fame trainer will try and bring his record to seven when he sends out a quartet of two-year-olds to contest the 32nd running of the $750,000 race, which will be held at Betfair Hollywood Park.
His group is comprised of Generous Stakes (gr. III) winner Den's Legacy; Real Quiet Stakes winner Carving; Hollywood Prevue Stakes (gr. III) winner Really Mr Greely; and Breeders' Cup Juvenile (gr. I) also-ran Title Contender. It is a very strong group of runners, but believe it or not, none of them are expected to be favored.
That honor will most likely go to He's Had Enough, most recently runner-up in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile (gr. I) at Santa Anita Park. Trained by Doug O'Neill, the son of Tapit has trained well since the Breeders' Cup and looks like the horse to beat, but drawing the rail could potentially compromise his chances.
Violence, winner of the Nashua Stakes (gr. II) at Aqueduct, is also expected to be well-bet.
